Thank you for putting the spotlight on this Vintage 94! It is such a elegant watch with "complex simplicity"! Will wear mine more now that summer is over and cold days require long sleeves... Best Blomman

Another cool and informative post, CC.

With pleasure.

That red 12 is really a cherry on the cake & Which one for me ?.. Well, several 1994 are nice but like yours, the WG/ black dial is uber-cool.. Great write-up, pleasant read ! Bravo, my friend ! hs

Thanks kindly, HS. I'm glad you like my little series.
